reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the
appliance.
Positioning and connection
Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free
room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and
condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to
operate correctly and save energy.
3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part
of the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least
5 cm between the sides and any furniture/side walls.
4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat
(direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
5. In order to maintain the correct distance between
the appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers
supplied in the installation kit, following the instructions

it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it
to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the
electrical socket ensure the following:
The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant
with the law.
The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located
on the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).
The voltage must be in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left
side (e.g. 220-240V).
The socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance.

Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation
instructions (see Installation).
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and
accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the internal
light illuminates.
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an average
value. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the
refrigerator.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the
thermostat knob.
1 = warmest 5 = coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the
back wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased space
and improved aesthetics. During operation, the back wall will
be covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether
the compressor is operating or paused. Do not worry, the
refrigerator is functioning normally.
If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set on
high values with large quantities of food and with a high ambient
temperature, the appliance can operate continuously, resulting
in excessive frost formation and excessive energy consumption:
compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower values
(defrosting will occur automatically).
In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: the
colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. The food
should be stored as follows:
Food
Arrangement inside the
refrigerator
Fresh fish and meat
Above the fruit and vegetable bins
Fresh cheese
Above the fruit and vegetable bins
Cooked food
On any shelf
Salami, loaves of bread,
chocolate
On any shelf
Fruit and vegetables
In the fruit and vegetable
compartment bins
Eggs
On the shelf provided
Butter and margarine
On the shelf provided
Bottles, drinks, milk
On the shelves provided
Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not
hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw
foods.
Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase
humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and
the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage
of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without
complete removal of the shelf.
TEMPERATURE Indicator light
*: to identify the coldest area in
the refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see
diagram).
2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the
temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR
OPERATION knob to a higher position (colder) and wait
approximately 10 hours until the temperature has been
stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it
following the initial process. If large quantities of food have
been added or if the refrigerator door has been opened
frequently, it is normal for the indicator not to show OK.
Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting the REFRIGERATOR
OPERATION knob to a higher setting.
GB
16
Using the freezer to its full potential
Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already
been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten
(within 24 hours).
Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into
contact with food that has already been defrosted.
Fresh food must be stored above the grill in the freezer
compartment and if possible be in direct contact with the
walls (side and rear), where the temperature drops below
-18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which
are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because
they could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen
daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical
properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator
compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4)
In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer
compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest
bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an
adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the
evaporator plates.
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer
door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer,
ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.
! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended
period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the
freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced.
Ice tray
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer
drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer
comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer
compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during
filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water
is also provided).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up.
Check that the tray is completely empty and fill it with water
through the opening provided.
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER
LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing
(if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray).
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each
mould fills with water (see diagram).
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back.
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8
hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the
outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out
through the opening.

Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect
the appliance from the electricity supply:
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
Cleaning the appliance
The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals
may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in
lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do
not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.
The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water
and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them
carefully.
The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be
removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner
set on medium power. The appliance must be switched
off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the
appliance.
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which
are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator
and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be
covered or sealed properly.
If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of
time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.
Defrosting the appliance
! Follow the instructions below.
Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost the
appliance as these may damage the refrigeration circuit beyond
repair.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is
ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge
outlet (see diagram) where the heat produced by the
compressor causes it to evaporate. It is necessary to clean the
discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost
manually:
1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the position
.
2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another
freezer or in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely.
This can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm
water in the freezer compartment.
4. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before
switching the appliance on again.
5. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM
to lead the water outside: let the water flow into a
container (see diagram).
6. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal storage
conditions have been restored, before placing food in the
freezer compartment.
Replacing the light bulb
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull
out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions
below.
Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the
diagram. Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power
range indicated on the cover (15W or 25W).

Precautions and tips
! The appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance
with international safety standards. The following warnings are
provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully.
This appliance complies with the following Community
Directives:
- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent
amendments;
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;
- 2002/96/CE..
General safety
The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home
and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
The appliance must be used to store and freeze food products
by adults only and according to the instructions in this manual.
The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered
areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed
to rain and storms.
Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or moist
hands and feet.
Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could cause
skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the
mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the
appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It is
not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances should
you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried
out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or further
malfunctioning of the appliance.
Do not use any sharp or pointed utensils or electrical
equipment - other than the type recommended by the
manufacturer - inside the frozen food storage compartments.
Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into your
mouth.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or lack of experience
and knowledge unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It can
become a choking or suffocation hazard.
Disposal
Observe local environmental standards when disposing
packaging material for recycling purposes.
The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact
on human health and the environment. The crossed out
“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your
obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be
separately collected.
Consumers may take their old appliance to public
waste collection areas, other communal collection
areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a
retailer when purchasing a similar new product.
All major household appliance manufacturers are
active in the creation of systems to manage the
collection and disposal of old appliances.
Respecting and conserving the environment
Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room.
Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not
place it near heat sources.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy.
Do not fill the appliance with too much food:
cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will work
continuously.
Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The
internal temperature will increase and force the compressor
to work harder and will consume more energy.
Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance). A thick
layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more
difficult and results in increased energy consumption.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they
are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (see
Maintenance).
GB
19
Troubleshooting
If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.
Malfunctions:
The internal light does not illuminate.
The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool
well.
The food inside the refrigerator is
beginning to freeze.
The motor runs continuously.
The appliance makes a lot of noise.
Some of the external parts of the
refrigerator become hot.
The back wall of the refrigerator unit is
covered in frost or droplets of water.
There is water at the bottom of the
refrigerator.
Excess moisture / Ice at rear of the Fridge
Warm Fridge
Possible causes / Solutions:
The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far enough to make
contact, or there is no power in the house.
The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
The doors are opened too frequently.
The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position
The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.
The atmospheric temperature of the area surrounding the appliance is lower than
14°C.
The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position.
The food is in contact with the back inside wall of the refrigerator.
The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.
The outside ambient temperature is very high.
The thickness of the frost exceeds 2-3 mm (see Maintenance).
The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (see Installation).
The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate and make noise.
The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor is off. This is
not a defect, it is normal.
These raised temperatures are necessary in order to avoid the formation of
condensation on certain parts of the product.
This shows the appliance is operating normally.
The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance).
Excess moisture / Ice will occur if the Larder door is opened for prolonged periods.
This will disappear once the door is closed and the Larder allowed to defrost
and drain the moisture away. This is normal for cooling function of the Larder
compartment, especially in summer period.
If room temperature is 16 C or lower, (for example the product is located in a garage
or out building), for the refrigerator to operate correctly the “Fast Freeze switch” must
be in the ‘ON’ position.
